Welcome to the International Negotiations Competition 2018, hosted by Cardiff University at the Cardiff School of Law and Politics, and sponsored by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR).

The competition involves 28 teams from 24 countries testing their negotiation skills over a series of rounds where they will seek to achieve the optimum outcome for their clients in both the short-term and the long-term, while dealing with cultural and practical issues thrown up by scenarios that have been imaginatively created by the organisers.

An important aspect of the event is the education side, and there will be a Masterclass at the outset of the competition where expert speakers will engage the delegates with lectures, interactive exercises and practical seminars in order to help to develop the existing high levels of aptitude in students who have qualified for this event through their own National Competition.
